Can we please get rid of the Random rule?

[ErryK]

Almost every HW card is locked behind an NPC with the random rule, and Yellow Moon is the worst offender so far. I've won again most HW NPCs except this one... the random rule is not random, it's random FOR YOU. So why isn't it fair for NPCs to have random enforced on them?

Because the devs want you to grind for cards like everything else.

It's a drag for sure. But I'll take the random rule over NPC's with 10-20 minute windows every time. If I can play I'll get the cards in time. But having to drop things, run across the world to challenge an NPC for a few minutes is the pits.

Random can be beaten. It just takes time.

The random rule in and of itself is fine. The problem is that the NPCs aren't restricted like the player is with said rule. NPCs could have several 4/5 star cards available to them, and the player will only be given one card of that rarity in the best case scenario. The player is more likely to end up with "useless" 1/2 star cards, for example, playing against an NPC that only has six cards available, all of which could easily douse the player's deck.

I understand the reasoning behind it, in a way, but that doesn't make me think it's fair by any stretch of the imagination. It bothers me too, but what can you do?

I would probably hate the random rule a bit less if it ignored the hand limit, and chose five random cards from our collection.

How to fix the random rule :
-Merge the deck from the 2 players together.
-Pick randomly from it, without restriction, for each player.
-????
-Profit.

This would make the random rule what it should really be : random.
You may get awesome card from your opponent and he might get your crappy 1 star card, true randomness, and might create funny scenario if both players end up with full 1 star card.

Make it happen, devs. Although to be fair, the Swap rule does this already, but with just one card.

I would probably suggest just ditching swap. Granted, this is just my personal experience, but I see the swap rule in play extremely infrequently unless it's a match rule for a certain NPC. I seem to encounter random all the time everywhere I look. Mileage may vary for everyone else, of course. I do think the random rule is more interesting and possibly more fun than just one card swapping places. I like Kaenbyou's idea above, and I think the two rules should be "merged" into a new random rule; that would be pretty sweet.
